Troy Herfoss earned pole position during MotoAmerica Mission King Of The Baggers qualifying Saturday at Circuit of The Americas (COTA), in Austin, Texas. Riding his S&S Indian Challenger on Dunlop control tires, the reigning Australian Superbike Champion lapped the 3.4-mile, 20-turn track in 2:13.709. Not only did that beat the rest of the field, it also beat Rocco Landers’ one-day-old All-Time Lap Record of 2:14.779.

Herfoss’ teammate Tyler O’Hara was second-best with a 2:14.738.

Landers was unable to improve on the time he did on his RevZilla/Motul/Harley-Davidson Road Glide on Friday, but that 2:14.779 was good enough to get him the third and final spot on the front row of the grid.

Landers’ teammate Hayden Gillim, the defending Champion, was fourth with a 2:14.858.

Harley-Davidson Factory Racing’s Kyle Wyman, the current Championship point leader, qualified fifth with a 2:14.913.

Wyman’s teammate James Rispoli did a sixth-fastest 2:15.164.
